Spurred on by a growing demand for academic books in India, Springer, a global scientific publisher of books and journals, is expanding operations in the country.
The publishing firm, which began India operations in 1998, has set up a new office in the capital and plans to increase the content to include more top Indian authors and widen distribution networks — universities, colleges, academic societies and professionals — in the country.
“This new office can be said to be for us the last step in globalisation because we want to be not just an European company selling content but also about selling Indian content. We want to be a truly global company,” said Mr Derk Haank, chief executive, Springer.
The company publishes over 2,000 journals and 7,000 new book titles per year and currently has over 45,000 eBooks available in its database.
Springer India is expanding its number of Indian journals and providing access for these journals to an international audience through SpringerLink.
To make its titles affordable for students, Springer India also reprints original Springer titles specifically for the Indian market.
